The last response sounded a little challenging, which I didnıt intend.

If you need section breaks, you need section breaks.

A couple of things to pay attention to are ³restart page numbering² (do for
section after cover page, donıt for the others) in the Insert Page Numbers
dialog and the ³same as previous² setting in the header and footer settings
(on that little ribbon of icons).

And congratulations on reading the documentation. You sound almost as
stubborn as I am when I have a formatting problem. :)

At this rate, if youıre not careful, you could become really good at Word.

Best,
